Mother and Son in Afghanistan
Mir Negor and her son Haroun in Shikhan. They are some of the people already met by the photographer in 2001.
In 2001 Mir Negor wanted to leave the village. Almost everything she owned had been sold for food. As it turns out in 2009 Mir Negor never managed to leave, but their lives have improved somewhat. Haroun is just about to leave to help workmen installing a big metal gate to the family's courtyard.
Mir Negor's husband who had left in 2001 to find food did return to his family, but died a year later. The two sons who had left at the same time, traveled abroad and stayed in Iran. Every now and then they send money. Daughter Alia has married and moved in with her family in law according to habit. A third son now studies pharmacy in Kabul, thanks to the regular savings that his brothers send over.
